GET NELLY'S HAND.
Up and waur them a', Willie,
Up and waur them a';
Ye hae the airt to wile the heart
Frae lasses ane and a', Willie!
Up and waur them a';
Ye hae the airt to wile the heart
Frae lasses ane and a', Willie!
Though mony rin, wi' endless din,
Their thrawart joes to see, Willie;
Their bosoms knell, wi' pleasures swell,
At ae blink o' thy e'e, Willie.
Their thrawart joes to see, Willie;
Their bosoms knell, wi' pleasures swell,
At ae blink o' thy e'e, Willie.
But letna love thy bosom move
To join in wedlock's bands, Willie;
Unless she hae the powerfu' sway
O' siller and o' lands, Willie.
To join in wedlock's bands, Willie;
Unless she hae the powerfu' sway
O' siller and o' lands, Willie.
Young Nelly wons in yonder glen,
As blithe as rosy May, Willie;
Her try, as weel the way ye ken,
I'm sure she'll ne'er say nae, Willie.
As blithe as rosy May, Willie;
Her try, as weel the way ye ken,
I'm sure she'll ne'er say nae, Willie.
Around her mony wooers thrang,
And muckle love do show, Willie;
Enrol your name, and ere 'tis lang
You'll bear the gree awa', Willie.
And muckle love do show, Willie;
Enrol your name, and ere 'tis lang
You'll bear the gree awa', Willie.
Up and waur them a', Willie,
Up and waur them a';
Get Nelly's han', and a' her lan',
Ere Beltan winds do blaw, Willie.
Up and waur them a';
Get Nelly's han', and a' her lan',
Ere Beltan winds do blaw, Willie.
